Teen Arrested Over Instagram Threats to Center Grove High School

Police say they traced the account to a phone through GPS data from Meta.

  • A probable cause affidavit quotes a message stating, "IM WALKING IN TOMORROW WITH A ARP AND IM KILLING EVERYONE THAT'S IN MY SIGHT."
  • Investigators report he confessed he acted out of anger over a rumored pro-ICE demonstration that did not occur.
  • He is being held at the Johnson County Jail with bail set at $15,000, and the district says he is not affiliated with the school.
